Headlights - Adjust (Wall Method): Procedure

  1. Position the vehicle for adjusting the headlights. The vehicle should be:
    • Located in a darkened area.
    • Parked on a level surface.
    • Perpendicular to a wall that has a white matte surface. The wall must be at least 1.8 m (6 ft) high and 3.7 m (12 ft) wide.
    • Close enough to the wall so that the headlights are positioned 10 m (32.8 ft) away.
  2. Make sure that all 4 tires are inflated to specification.
  3. Put a piece of tape on the wall 27.5 in (698 mm) from the ground to indicate where the beam should show.
  4. Measure 25 ft (7.62 m) away from the wall and put a piece of tape on the ground to indicate where the vehicle should be parked.
  5. Park the vehicle perpendicular to the wall so that the front fascia is flush with the tape that was placed on the ground in the previous step.
  6. Turn on the headlights.
